7 Classroom Ideas for Building +/- Fact Fluency

If so, then it’s time for your students to advance their mastery by building fact fluency. Here’s a look at the number bonds ideas we have prepared for you. Be sure to use your own free account to try these activites: 1. Sharing Candy Our exploration of number bonds begins with concrete activities like this ‘Sharing Candy’ exercise. This activity is available for number sums 5 through 9 (see Plus & Minus to 5, exercise 14; Plus & Minus to 10 (Part 1), exercises 6, 14; Plus & Minus to 10 (Part 2), exercises 1, 9). 2. From there, students begin to relate concrete objects to equations. This activity is available for number sums 5 through 10 (see Plus & Minus to 5, exercise 15; Plus & Minus to 10 (Part 1), exercises 7, 15; Plus & Minus to 10 (Part 2), exercises 2, 10, 17). 3. 4. 5. 7.
